SCSU Search Process

The search procedures are designed to ensure a smooth search process and to provide
clear documentation of efforts undertaken by all who serve Southern Connecticut State
University to support its affirmative action policy and goals. Any additional questions
and concerns can be addressed by the Office of Diversity and Equity Programs (ODE),
ext. 25491.

You will find the PDF guidelines in the menu for each of the following search procedures:

Failed Searches

If none of the applicants or interviewed candidates are deemed appropriate or if all
of the acceptable interviewees decline offers, the director or dean shall confer with
the unit head (i.e., vice president, provost, or president) to determine whether to
reconsider other applicants in the pool, to readvertise for the purpose of expanding
the applicant pool, or to close the search.

If after conferring with the unit head, it is decided to close the search, the director
or dean shall notify the Office of Diversity & Equity and the Office of Human Resources,
in writing, that the search has failed, indicate the reason(s) for the failed search,
and identify subsequent action.
